Organizing a party always starts the same way: with the excitement of imagining what the big day will be like. But among all that excitement, choosing the right place can become a more important decision than it seems.
The space defines the atmosphere of the event, influences the budget, and even affects how your guests will feel.
That’s why, before booking, there are some details worth checking. From SpacePal, we share a practical guide to help you find the perfect space (and avoid last-minute surprises).
1. Location and access
It seems obvious, but not all guests live nearby or move the same way.
Before confirming the space, think about:
- If it has parking or public transport nearby.
- If it’s easy to locate on the map (no one wants to miss the entrance!).
- If the access is comfortable for elderly or mobility-impaired people.
2. Capacity and distribution
A party in a small space can become uncomfortable, but a venue that is too large can also backfire.
Check:
- The maximum capacity and whether it fits the number of guests.
- If there are separate areas for dining, dancing, or relaxing.
- If the space is covered or outdoors (and what happens if it rains).
3. Included services
Some venues include furniture, catering or sound; others only the rental.
Make sure to check what is included in the price:
- Tables, chairs, tableware, linens.
- Sound and lighting equipment.
- Cleaning staff or coordination during the event.
Being clear about what you need to contract additionally will help you to define the real budget and avoid unexpected expenses.
4. Hours and restrictions
Before booking, ask:
- Until what time can noise be made?
- Are there extra costs for extending the hours?
- Can outside catering or drinks be brought in?
- Are there penalties for cancellation?
A clear and written contract gives you peace of mind and avoids misunderstandings.
5. Style and ambiance
The venue also conveys emotions. A garden can provide a relaxed and natural vibe; an enclosed hall, something more elegant; an urban loft, a modern touch.
Think about the type of party you want to create and look for a space that reflects that.
